The Russian Federal Customs Service released a statement Saturday confirming that an American "two-time Olympic basketball champion" had been taken into custody in February after a narcotics' dog at Sheremetyevo International Airport near Moscow alerted the athlete’s luggage.

I guess her “Do you know who I am?” card didn’t work in Putin’s Russia.

Here in America, we distribute drug supplies. I guess it’s for the children.

Maybe we could get Jo Jo the Pedophile Clown to threaten Pooty Pooh or something. Maybe the Hollowoodies could cancel Pooty’s tickets to their new “gay” movie, “The Power of the Dog”. LOL! I know that would wreck Pooty’s War.

She’s an athlete. She’s not expected to be smart. Almost anyone though is smart enough to know you don’t take controlled substances to places like Russia.
Unless they planted it on her. Not impossible.

She’s a druggie. Joe has a soft spot in his heart for druggies. He’ll make sure he/she/it gets released.

If she broke their law, she should be punished according to their law. Only an arrogant idea would go to another Country and do this.
